CITV itself made a big effort for its 20th anniversary in 2002 with a celebration featuring lots of old faces and old clips - which can be seen here.
Yes, but Children's ITV as an actual strand was only introduced at the beginning of 1983 to unify children's programming across the regions, as before then each region handled it themselves under the branding of 'Watch It!'.

CITV channel continues to commission some new material. Including My Phone Genie, Fort Boyard, Horrid Henry, Sooty etc
CITV on ITV1 in the afternoon ended in 2006 i think, but continues on weekend mornings 6-9.25am, and some Bank Holidays.
I remember the 20th Birthday special. They had all the old presenters in the studio, Gary Terzza, Jeanne Downs, Scally etc.
Text Santa: CITV Special(Childrens)
Friday, December 21st, 2012 on
CITV from 4:00pm to 4:45pm
CITV kicks off the Text Santa party with a live show celebrating the fundraising efforts by children all over the UK, raising money for the six Text Santa charities. Laura Hamilton and Jeff Brazier are the hosts. There are also special Christmas editions of Compost Corner and Horrid Henry, the winning animation from this year's Text Santa story competition, surprise celebrity guests, fun festive games, and a sneaky peek behind the scenes at tonight's big entertainment extravaganza.
How was presentation handled before 'Watch It'?
Every region for itself, I guess?
I wonder if it'll be like something they did in September/October 1996 called CITV at 40, which celebrated all Children's programming on the commercial network since 1956.

I'm almost certain they'll highlight the Saturday morning kids TV that they must have had back in the day.
Now why cant they just show this on tonight as well.
Not a good idea. The original which I was besotted by at the time, doesn't stand up to much nowadays and the remake was crap!
